I am a 19 year old girl who panics at the mere thought of talking with a stranger on the telephone. I run from anything that raises my anxiety and because of this I haven't been able to accomplish much in my 19 years of living. I live on my own because I cant live with my parents...

My boyfriend broke up with me because we fight a lot. My mom blames me for everything. My dad is quick to get physically hostile with me. He hates me. I'm surprised I'm still alive considering his hate for me. I don't know what I'm doing with my life. I don't have a job, no...

This single thought has plagued my mind for so many years now.And to it I say: so what.I am tired of all the expectations, of what I "should have been", or what I might have been. It's depressing and keeping me in a steel cage of sadness.I am here and now. I live and breathe...

before the thought leaves me. There is something horribly wrong with the way I'm living my life. It's horribly wrong because I never do anything wrong. I've always been a hard worker, respectful of others, got good grades and respected people who didn't even deserve my time...

and anxiety have gotten worse.. I'm 16, I shouldn't have to deal with this... I have no friends at all, a couple people at my job hate me, I feel sad ALL the time, I haven't had a boyfriend since 7th grade, my relationship with my dad has been pretty bad since a couple of weeks...

darkness is all I see. I'm stuck in this place, I can not move, I'm paralyzed by fear, by change, by failure. And I can't seem to break these chains that are binding me, I let so much and so many people hold me down. It's a never ending cycle I don't even know where to begin. I...

I graduated, I broke my knee and lost my great job.. I don't look for a better life, all I do is play video games and drums.. All day long go around seeing how life passes by in front of my eyes and I'm still here.. Same as a year ago, same as 4 years ago.. I have nothing

and a test. Constantly having to choose between right and wrong, being put with a temporary family, while you live, learning to love and forget, it's just one giant lucid dream. And soon enough, the dream will be over and you'll wake up somewhere better.

screwing it up to actually live it. I've never understood when people my age say that they're excited because they have their whole lives ahead of them. The way I see it, my whole life is right now and the next 60 years or so are just consequences of what I'm doing today. It...

Not being able to understand our suffering is the worst kind of suffering there is. It is far worse than physical pain.And the reason why we don't understand our suffering, is often because we don't know what we are living for in the first place.

as I see others move on in any way... Whether it's starting a family or going to college or doing something. I feel like I have so much excuses and fear ruling my life and I just can't get out and do something. At the zenith point in everybody's life I'm just wasting away... At...

times, which is only reinforced by the fact that I ultimately don't want to be here. The things I would give and do just to escape this god awful reality for a few moments. Either I was born into the wrong time period, or I just don't belong in this particular world at all...

I am a 21 year old girl who still lives at home, working a good paying job that I hate. Not going to school. Have a fiance who went to prison who i am now thinking he has borderline personality disorder and our relationship has almost totally fallen apart due to being apart and...

In every part of life there are disappointments. Some maybe not as big as the others, but the fact is that it’s still disappointment.
Guess what, cheer up and enjoy life to the hilt, because you’re not the only one being disappointed. See the bright side of it, for every...

I don't know what to write about... I have a lot of things on my mind I don't know exactly what to get out or divulge into..I've been thinking a lot of how I run around trying to make everyone else happy. I sit here at my parents house day in and day out doing nothing because...

tumblr and other shut that this generation is so obsessed with. ****! I just want to shut of all the technology and just live life like they did back in the 1900. I want to actually go somewhere instead of looking at it in pictures. I want to experience the Joy of travelling...

It's been a whole week now that I have been on my own with my little boy. I cannot believe that I finally found the courage to break free from a very toxic and dysfunctional relationship. I know it's going to be hard, I have no one here but I feel like I have my guardian angels...

After I graduated from high school, I wasn't so sure about going to college...I was undecided on what I wanted to go for. So, I made up my mind and chose to study on being an x ray technician. I didn't really want to go for that, but I just wanted to do something...I ended up...

I really am. Pretty much everyday I just work a few hours, then come home and sit in front of my computer all day. Ocassionally reading a book or cooking. I spend time with friends maybe a couple times a month. My only real friends are all many hundreds of miles away...
